The lake in the Ecology Park was rather calm on that day. There was the Little Grebe family, who were very active, a young Grey Heron (Aosagiアオサギ), who was standing on the island almost all day and a pair of Spotbill Ducks (Karugamoカルガモ), who were also resting almost all day on the opposite side of the island from the heron.
